The present article deals with the dispersion of a solute in peristaltic system. This mathematical model provides the analytical solution of electro-magnetohydrodynamic flow of biofluids through a channel. Treating blood as a Jeffrey fluid and considering homogeneous chemical reaction, the closed form of solution of effective dispersion coefficient is obtained by using Taylor’s limiting condition and long wave length approximation. The impacts of physiological parameters such as the electro osmotic velocity, electro kinetic, Jeffrey fluid parameter and Hartmann number on the Peristaltic movement have been investigated. It is found that the average equivalent dispersion coefficient is reduced with respect to the enhancement of homogeneous chemical reaction parameter and Hartmann number. It is pertinent to point out here that the electro osmotic velocity and electro kinetic parameter help to enhance average equivalent dispersion coefficient in comparison with the absence of applied electric field. The present analytical study provides useful information to artificial bio-processors.
